Director Kyle Cooper
Kyle Cooper has produced and directed hundreds of main title and visual effects sequences across a wide spectrum of film and broadcast mediums. Cooper received his MFA from Yale School of Art, where he studied independently with renowned American modernist Paul Rand. In his third year at Yale, Cooper was awarded the Mohawk Paper Traveling Fellowship to complete thesis research at the Sergei Eisenstein Kabinet in the then Soviet Union. Cooper was creative director at R/Greenberg Associates from 1988 to 1996. He founded and named Imaginary Forces in 1996 and went on to found Prologue Films, in 2003. Details magazine credits Cooper with "almost single-handedly revitalizing the main title sequence as an art form". Los Angeles magazine calls him the "Da Vinci of main titles." He is "one of the top 50 biggest and best thinkers from the last 20 years of advertising and consumer culture," according to Creativity magazine. "Not since Saul Bass' legendary preludes...have credits attracted such attention," proclaims Wired magazine. Cooper is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and holds the title of honorary Royal Designer for Industry from the Royal Society of Arts in London. He has seven Emmy nominations and two wins and was the recipient of the lifetime achievement medal from the American Institute of Graphic Arts, recognizing him for designing title sequences for film and television with a bold and unexpected style, conjuring emotional responses through his captivating use of narrative.
